How do I send a parcel from Italy to Poland?

Rules sending a parcel from abroad to Poland InPost provides separate information for each country, as requirements can vary from country to country. To send a parcel from Italy, select the size and pay for the service online, print the label, stick it on the parcel and leave it in a Paczkomat parcel locker or at an InPost Point.

1. Measure and weigh the parcel

Before you book the service, check the dimensions and weight of the packed box. On this basis you’ll choose the right size - The price depends on him. Underestimating the dimensions may result in an additional charge or the parcel being refused.

2. Complete the form and pay for the service online

You can book a parcel delivery from Italy via the website InPostEasy.com, via Szybkie Nadania or the InPost Mobile app. Enter the sender’s and recipient’s details, select the parcel size and delivery method within Poland, then pay for the parcel. Once payment has been made, you will receive an address label and a tracking number.

3. Print the label

In Italy Printing the label is compulsory - It is not possible to send a parcel without a label attached. If you do not have access to a printer, you can print the label at your chosen InPost Point.

One label covers one parcel, so if you have two parcels, you’ll need to place two orders. An order remains valid for 30 calendar days from the date of payment; within this period, you can request a refund for any label you do not end up using.

4. Stick the label onto the parcel

Place it on the flat, upper surface of the cardboard box. The barcode must remain legible and must not be covered by packing tape or creased at the edge – this is the most common cause of errors in sorting centres.

5. Leave the parcel in a Paczkomat parcel locker or at an InPost Point

Take your dispatch code to a Paczkomat (Locker) parcel locker, open the locker and place your parcel inside. Alternatively, hand your parcel in to staff at an InPost Point. From that point on, you can track its status in the InPost Mobile app.

Delivery time for a parcel from Italy to Poland

Estimated Delivery from Italy takes approximately 5 working days, up to a maximum of 11 working days. You will see the first figure when placing your order; the second indicates the deadline by which the parcel is due to arrive at the collection point. The delivery period begins on the next working day after the date of dispatch, and collections and deliveries take place on working days.

Public holidays, apart from counting the deadline

Public holidays in the country of dispatch, the country of transit or in Poland are not included in the delivery time. If the parcel is posted just before a public holiday observed in Italy or in Poland, that day does not add to the delivery time. However, the countdown only begins once the parcel has been dropped off at the collection point, and a pre-printed label is required for this.

Where can I post a parcel in Italy?

A parcel send via Paczkomat® or a PaczkoPunkt collection point. You specify the address on the map when placing your order, along with the location in Poland where the parcel will be delivered.

The difference between them comes down to opening hours: the parcel locker operates round the clock, whilst at a PaczkoPunkt, staff will accept your parcel during opening hours. You can check both types of address in advance at InPost points map and you can fit it in with the route you cover during the day anyway.

Collection of a parcel via Paczkomat®

The recipient is notified when a parcel is ready for collection By text message, email or in-app message, together with a confirmation code and a QR code. You have 36 hours to collect your parcel, whether from a Paczkomat® parcel locker or a PaczkoPunkt collection point. The only exception is a parcel locker with restricted opening hours, where the collection period is 48 hours. The earlier stages of the journey will be shown parcel tracking on the InPost website.

Once this period has elapsed, a second message is sent, specifying an additional collection period: 12 hours at a parcel locker, 24 hours at a parcel locker with restricted opening hours, and 36 hours at a PaczkoPunkt collection point. Arrange with the recipient in advance when they will collect the parcel, as the first collection window here is shorter than on other service routes.

Frequently asked questions about shipping from Italy to Poland

How can you protect electronic items in a parcel?

The equipment is padded with 2 to 5 cm of filling material, wrapped in stretch film, and the corners are protected with polystyrene profiles. The aim is to ensure that the equipment does not come into contact with the sides of the box at any point.

Is furniture included in this service?

The furniture will be transported provided it has been dismantled and fits within the specified dimensions. Separate the parts with dividers, protect the edges with foam, and pack the whole lot in a cardboard box with at least three layers.

What about medicines and medical devices?

The service covers Class I medical devices, such as orthopaedic collars, examination gloves and sterile products. Medicinal products are excluded from the scope of the service.

Where can I find the full list of items excluded from parcels?

The list of prohibited items is set out in the appendix to the retail customer terms and conditions. It is also worth having a look at this list, as it can vary depending on the country of delivery.

Can the label be inserted into the document pocket?

A self-adhesive label, or ‘kangaroo’ label, is suitable for this purpose, provided that the print on it does not obscure the barcode or the address. The label should lie flat against it so that the scanner can read the entire barcode
